I see this as, people in UK do not eat dogs,cats,horses yet people in FRANCE eat horse meat and in Far east cats and dogs are food. It is a cultural thing. Anyway taking care of cows is better then blowing up people with bombs. The sacred part is due to Lord Krishna's love for PEACEFUL COWS.

Funny you only consume, and you eat what cannot even create yourself. name something you created, stealing, nuclear weapons, pollution, etc.

you meat to get strength, no cow no strenght, pitty !

[dharma099]

when you die, you will go to the astral world where they would butcher you just for fun ? wha da ya think ?

If you were farmed and raised only for meat ? would you like it ? I don't think so !

[Onehitter74]

i like slaughter houses, hamburgers and steak. milkshakes arent bad neither

i am a hindu, not from india , but i dont do that. i respect the cattle since it was our backbone in terms of milk and muscle power for farming.

i wont eat it meat since my family used to use it farming. but i dont see the need for bathing, or using urine to show adoration....

Cow is a sacred animal in Hinduism. Our Prime Minister Morarji Desai used to drink a glass of cow mother's urine early in the morning like many Hindus do. Many Hindus take bath with cow mother's urine to purify themselves. What a tribute to cow mother.
